| Sharing Websites and Files | 30 |
With zrok it is possible to share files quickly and easily as well. To share files using zrok use
the --backend-mode web, for example: zrok share private . --backend-mode web.
Running with this mode will make it trivially easy to share files from the directory which the command was run from.
For example if you have a directory with a structure like this:
-rw-r--r--+ 1 Michael None 7090 Apr 17 12:53 CHANGELOG.md
-rw-r--r--+ 1 Michael None 11346 Apr 17 12:53 LICENSE
-rw-r--r--+ 1 Michael None 2885 Apr 17 12:53 README.md
-rwxr-xr-x+ 1 Michael None 44250624 Apr 17 13:00 zrok.exe*
The files can be shared using a command such as:
zrok share public --backend-mode web .
Then the files can be access with a private or public share, for example as shown:
zrok will automatically provide a stock website, which will allow the accessing user to browse and navigate the file tree. Clicking the files allows the user to download them.
zrok can also share a pre-rendered static HTML website. If you have a directory like this:
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 Michael None 56 Jun 26 13:23 index.html
If index.html contains valid HTML, like this:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello <code>zrok</code></h1>
</html>
Sharing the directory will result in the following when you access the share in a web browser:
zrok contains a built-in web server, which you can use to serve static websites as a share.
